Romp and Raid is an exciting 3rd piece in the African Adventure Reading and Rote series! This playful, yet intense elementary piece will help your students play those big sounds that they crave while also teaching them how to read flats and move around the piano.
Romp and Raid is great for teaching!
Romp and Raid will expose your elementary piano students to:
- Chromaticism (you don’t have to explain it…just let them experience moving from black key to white key)
- Triple meter
- Accents and intense sounds
- Moving up and down the piano
Teach Romp and Raid by reading or rote.
Experiencing music is the foundation to learning to read music. Just as kids learn to speak before they read, kids learn best when being encouraged to play music before they read music! When combined, teaching music like Romp and Raid by sight and sound is a more balanced way for students to experience music. However you teach it, students will be motivated by the intensity of the adventure as the hyena romps and raids its prey.

Got all three pieces of the African Safari series – my young student loves them all very much! Must say that the student is not easily excited. Thank you very much!!

Wendy’s pieces are great! She writes for beginners, songs that sound harder than they are, and the kids love them! I’m really loving these rote/read pieces.
